Welcome to Tropic Palms — a Dwell Magazine-featured designer retreat. | House in Delray Beach

Welcome to Tropic Palms — a Dwell Magazine-featured 3-bedroom designer retreat in the heart of Delray Beach. Newly renovated by an award-winning architecture firm, with a heated pool, chef's kitchen, and Sonos throughout. Sleeps 6 in king with ensuite + king + queen.
You'll feel it the moment you open the door: this isn't your average vacation rental. Tropic Palms was reimagined from the ground up by a renowned, award-winning design-and-build firm and featured in Dwell Magazine — the design world's stamp of approval that you can see in every line, finish, and fixture.
We built this home to redefine what a beach rental should feel like. Three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, a heated pool, and a kitchen that genuinely deserves the word "chef's." Sleeps 6 adults in real beds (two kings, one queen) — no air mattresses, no compromises.
Inside
Open-concept great room, designer furnishings, and a smart TV
Separate poolside den — air conditioned, smart TV, adjacent to the pool, perfect as a second lounge, kids' hangout, or remote-work nook.
Chef's kitchen with new high-end appliances, generous counter space, and every tool a serious cook actually wants — built for entertaining, not just reheating and a dining area that seats the whole group
Three distinct bedrooms:
Primary suite — King bed, ensuite bath, walk-in closet, blackout shades
Second bedroom — King bed, generous closet, blackout shades
Third bedroom — Queen bed, generous closet, blackout shades

THE LOCATION — Why Delray, Why Here
Delray Beach was named "Most Fun Small Town in America" for a reason. It's the rare Florida destination that's walkable, sophisticated, and genuinely unpretentious. Tropic Palms sits in the sweet spot — close enough to walk to everything, far enough to actually relax.
From your front door:
- 5 minute drive to the beach — soft white sand, lifeguarded, with public showers
- 10 minutedrive to Atlantic Avenue and downtown Boca Raton — hundreds of restaurants, rooftop bars, art galleries, and the renowned Saturday GreenMarket
- Morning coffee at Subculture, Death or Glory, or any of a dozen cafés within a short walk
- Public pickleball and tennis courts; the Delray Beach Open is a 10-minute drive
- Pineapple Grove Arts District, Old School Square, and the Cornell Art Museum — all walkable
- Day trips: Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens (15 min) · Wakodahatchee Wetlands (10 min) · Worth Avenue & Palm Beach (25 min) · Boca Raton (15 min) · Fort Lauderdale (40 min) · Miami (55 min)
Most of our guests park their car on arrival and don't move it again until checkout.
WHO TROPIC PALMS IS PERFECT FOR
- Couples wanting a romantic, walkable, design-forward escape
- Families who need real space, real beds, and a pool that gets used
- Friend groups celebrating birthdays, reunions, or a long weekend in the sun
- Snowbirds and remote workers — Wi-Fi, dedicated den space, and a printer make this an actual second office
- Wedding and event guests — minutes from Delray's top venues
- Design enthusiasts — the Dwell feature wasn't an accident; you'll notice every detail
We're new to the VRBO platform but have had many renters and guest who truly enjoy this home. Booking a vacation rental is a leap of faith — we've stayed in dozens ourselves and built Tropic Palms to be the one we wished we'd found. If you have any questions before you book, send a message. A real person will write back, usually within the hour.
Reach out, lock in your dates, and we'll have the lights on, the pool warm, and the Sonos cued up.
